We are attracting enough new subscribers to remain well ahead of our
20% growth per month business plan through the first quarter of this
year.

In addition to the engineering costs that was issued elsewhere in this
thread MindSpring  sends out complete documentation, a full software
suite that is about 10MB.  This suite is self configuring, includes a
licensed copy of Netscape, and a custom front end.  It goes out in a
priorty mail package that makes it to most new users in 2-3 days.
These things cost money
